Diwali is a festival of lights that is celebrated with zeal and zest across the country to mark the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The devotees are busy buying idols and decorating their homes to welcome Maa Lakshmi– the goddess of luck. This is a five-day-long festival and the festivities start with Dhanteras, followed by Chhoti Diwali, Diwali, Bhai Dooj, and Govardhan Pooja.
Every household is decorated with shimmering lights and bright colours. Diyas, candles, and flowers are also used to decorate the house. All these decorations are done to please Goddess Lakshmi–the goddess of luck and wealth. It is believed that on this day Goddess Lakshmi revolves around the orbit of Earth and pours her blessings on the most illuminated house.
